Sibling Relationships
The textbook suggests that developmental psychology’s biggest puzzle is, “Why are children in the same family so different?” Is it because each sibling has a different combination of genes? Is it because each sibling experiences a different birth order, peer influence, and life events?”
Judith Dunn has examined certain influences within the family that may help explain why people who grow up together, whether or not biologically related, do not have very similar personalities. Dunn notes that the affection, attention, and discipline provided by parents are significantly different for siblings. She also suggests that children may be extremely sensitive to such differences. Research indicates that from a remarkably early age children monitor and react to their parents’ interactions with their siblings. Research also suggests that there may be differences in how two siblings behave toward each other. Finally, some researchers believe peer influence plays a dominant role in a child’s development.
First, research this topic on the web. You must include your research in your first post. I posted a website below to get you started! The site listed below talks about the importance of sibling relationships:

Based on your research as well as, experiences, observations, and reading, reflect on your own experiences as family members and how those experiences may have shaped your own personality, as well as your brothers and sisters. Be sure to comment on other student’s reflections, as you may provide valuable insight!!
